Ok but you made a claim that they were leveraging their market position to maintain a monopoly. So please describe how they are doing that in any way shape or form.

Just because someone claims something to sue a company does not mean it’s true. You gotta go through the whole court process and prove it.

It says Valve "forces" game publishers to sign up to so-called price parity obligations, preventing titles being sold at cheaper prices on rival platforms

I’ve never seen any publisher claim this, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. But it sure doesn’t sound like that has anything to do with being a monopoly. Epic, GoG, Ubisoft, etc. could all do the exact same thing.

Anyway, thanks for the link. I was not the one to downvote you on your last comment. You did what I asked.

I give up. Are you an American or something?
